Ice rink to be added to London venue attraction

The London Eye is set to feature an ice rink this winter, Merlin Entertainment has announced.

From November 20th until January 5th, the rink will be present at the London venue.

It marks the first time visitors to the capital's Southbank will be able to skate on ice in the area.

At any time, up to 100 people will be able to enjoy the rink, which will be located in front of the London Eye.

Tickets will provide admission to the London attraction's 4D experience, which gives guests a bird's eye view of the capital and a ride on the wheel.

The news comes just days after it was announced that event organisers in York were trying to relocate the Yorkshire city's ice rink, the Ice Factor. After a struggle to find a suitable York venue in the city centre, organisers are now hoping to locate the winter attraction to York Designer outlet.
